Sometimes I get fed up
with the "great" acting
movie-actors enact.
I watch a scene,
and I think, "These
are famous people
doing something
for which they're
famous." I look
at the make-up,
the mannerisms,
the evidence
that the director
has had to suck up
to the celebrity.
I don't give even
one fuck what
the alleged
"story" is about.
I see angles, noses,
lips. I listen
to the goddamned
dubbing. I see how
the famous actor
demanded better
lighting and lots
of money
on "the back end."
They are acting up a storm.
And I am weary.
And what do I do?
I go read a novel in
well worn paperback form.
